The Cask is great. A late Saturday night a long time ago we needed a nightcap and ended up there. I was the grown-up of the bunch and a little paranoid because the previous spot didn't let us in. Of course the 1st order of business was a round of tequila shots. All of a sudden my buddy starts bucking like a bullrider. We're all encouraging him "You can do it, you can do it!" But out of the corner of my eye I see the bartender making his way to us. I'm thinking "we're gone" but at least we had one. Just as the guy finally stuck the landing without further incident, the bartender was on top of him with the bottle, "Ready for another?"

Yeah ultimately ok but I initially didn't get the email that identifies the 3rd party vendor so I had no clue that I needed the Ballpark app to get the tickets. Very awkward process that did a great job of complicating the simple. All is well.

Go Dogs!

Not sure when his showed up. He didn't know to look there until i told him to check a couple hours ago (around 9:30 or so). So, thanks again to whomever mentioned checking on the Ballpark App. Taking the early Amtrack Downeaster from Portland at 5:19 tomorrow, so between the early wakeup call and about $90 for a couple of train tickets, it would have been pretty disappointing to show up with no tickets.

Cool story. The bartender reminds me of a quote from Nick in "It's a Wonderful Life". "We serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast"

Cask 'n Flagon is always a good stop before or after a game. Spent some memorable times there when I couldn't get tickets for Sox games at Fenway.

Neat story about "Nick" in "It's a Wonderful Life" - According to the trivia on this movie on the IMDB web site (one of my favorites) for this movie, Sheldon Leonard took the part because he needed money to buy baseball tickets. He also had another classic line in that movie when George and (the angel) Clarence are thrown out of the bar - "Out you two pixies go - through the door or out the window!"
